Memorial Day Deal: Get the Coffee and Espresso System That Transformed My Mornings for Free Right Now
I consider myself to be something of a coffee savant. One doesn't have a Lorelai Gilmore-esque need for coffee and drink four to five cups a day without becoming a connoisseur. When I was a college student, I purchased coffee pretty much daily at the on-campus cafe. And whenever I travel, finding the best coffee house in that city is always my absolute top priority. Needless to say, I've had my fair share of coffee shop experiences -- and now I prefer to drink coffee at home.
The main reason for this change in behavior is all thanks to the L'Or Barista coffee and espresso system, which is currently being offered for free when you order $79 worth of coffee capsules. L'Or is also running several promotions on its coffee systems -- right in time for Memorial Day. Plus, you can grab the L'Or system and frother bundle for $50 off in all colors.
I bought my mom this system for Christmas and we've both become L'Or evangelists. With this deal, it's not a bad time to gift your caffeine-loving mom or dad (or yourself -- I won't judge) my all-time favorite coffee and espresso system.

Why I love my L'Or Barista
The Pumpkin Spice capsules are my go-to in the fall, but the iced coffee capsules are my favorite during the blistering summer months.
Macy Meyer/CNET
Every morning, I wake up giddy to make my coffee. The Onyx Espresso capsules are my consistent go-to when I make my favorite salted maple iced lattes, which are perfect for warm, summer mornings, but I'm also a huge fan of the iced coffee capsules. Since I've perfected my morning caffeine routine with the L'Or Barista, I no longer feel any need to buy coffee out. In fact, I prefer making my coffee and espresso drinks at home since I can use my machine to tailor them to my mood on that given morning.
I also love how quickly the machine heats up -- a flat 25 seconds to be exact. Nothing feels worse than waiting and waiting for a coffee machine to turn on, heat up and brew up a batch of java. Mere minutes can feel like an eternity when I'm exhausted and desperate for the energy that first cup of caffeine brings me.
What comes with the system?
The L'Or Barista is a single-serve machine that uses high-pressure brewing to make both coffee and espresso beverages at home. The system can brew six different sizes of hot or iced coffee, as well as espresso.
Of course the sleek machine that's compact enough to fit on the kitchen counter is a highlight, but the capsules are also an exciting treat. Since you'll need to spend $79 or more for a free system, you can opt to taste of a variety of capsule flavors. I've tried the Caramel, Hazelnut and Le Tigre coffee capsules and numerous espresso options -- it's genuinely hard to pick a favorite.
Why this makes a great gift
At its discounted price tag (usually $199), the L'Or Barista would be a great gift for any coffee connoisseur in your life. In fact, my mom tried mine, became obsessed, and would subtly bring it up until I finally bought her one this past Christmas. The current sale would provide the perfect opportunity to get some key Father's Day or graduation shopping done (wink, wink).
Basically, this system comes with everything you need for a complete at home barista experience, while taking any hassle out of the process.

When will this deal expire?
We don't know how long this deal will last, but it's for a limited time and only available until supplies last, so the offer could expire at any moment. If supplies last, the discount will probably continue through Memorial Day, but there's no guarantee. If you're hoping to snag this coffee system for free, we recommend placing your order sooner rather than later.

Versatile Jerar Encarnación returns to Giants after March surgery on his broken left hand
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Bob Melvin has been waiting for the chance to write Jerar Encarnación's name into San Francisco's lineup. The versatile Encarnación came off the 60-day injured list Monday and was available for the opener of a four-game series with the San Diego Padres at Oracle Park, though not yet in the starting lineup. Melvin hopes that he could start Tuesday — whether that's at first base or in right field. Encarnación underwent surgery in March on his broken left hand after he was injured trying to make a diving catch during spring training. He batted .302 with two home runs and 14 RBIs in Cactus League play after hitting .248 with five home runs and 19 RBIs in 113 at-bats last year. 'We know he can give us some power and he's got power to all fields,' Melvin said. 'We saw it at the end of last year, we saw it in spring training. When we were about to leave spring training there were going to be a lot of at-bats for him.' The Giants could use a big boost at the plate, and Encarnación hopes to deliver. 'I'm just going to do what I'm able to do to contribute to the team,' said Encarnación, a Dominican Republic native who made his major league debut with Miami in 2022 and joined the Giants as a free agent last May. The Giants optioned outfielder Luis Matos to Triple-A Sacramento so he can further develop and play regularly. San Francisco returned home having dropped five of nine games on its road trip to Washington, Detroit and Miami. The Giants entered Monday having scored only 30 runs over their last 14 games — the club's fewest in such a stretch since being limited to 28 runs from June 20-July 5, 2013. 'That's the good thing about him is he can play multiple positions, he can pinch hit,' Melvin said. 'It's nice to have him back. Spring training we were talking about how impactful he was going to be. He was having a great spring and next thing you know he's out for a while. He feels good at the plate, he hit some home runs the last couple days, he's ready to go.' Encarnación has been eager to rejoin the Giants, but embraced his faith and that it took the time it did for him to fully recover and come back. He missed the first 59 games, then made seven rehab appearances with Triple-A Sacramento last week, playing three games at first base, starting two as designated hitter and two more in right field. 'I'm so happy and content that I'm here,' he said, before adding with a smile a few minutes later that he's 'great, muy bueno.' ___ AP MLB:

Florida restaurants must disclose automatic tips and fees under new law
Restaurants will have to make clear to customers upfront when they will be hit with automatic tips or service fees, under a bill signed Monday by Gov. Ron DeSantis. While the primary focus of the bill involved the removal of non-paying guests from hotels, the measure (SB 606) also will require notifications from "public food service establishments that charge an operations charge," which is an automatic fee other than a tax. The law, which will take effect July 1, requires notices of fees on menus, websites or mobile apps where orders are placed. Addressing hidden fees in dining Many restaurants already impose automatic tips or service charges for large parties. But the issue was pushed in the Legislature after Rep. Demi Busatta, a Coral Gables Republican who grew up in the restaurant industry, told a House panel in March that she had received a restaurant bill that had a service fee and a pre-set gratuity, along with a line to include a tip. "In Miami, we've seen a growing circumstance where all the restaurants are automatically including a 20 percent gratuity, or they're calling it gratuity or service charge or service fee or tip, not just on regular sitdown meals but on take-out as well at fast-casual establishments," Busatta said at the time. For restaurants that don't provide menus or such things as table service, the bill says notices "must appear in an obvious and clearly readable manner on the menu board or on an obvious and clearly readable sign by the register where the customer pays."

Dave's Hot Chicken sold to Subway owner Roark Capital in a $1 billion deal
Dave's Hot Chicken said Monday it has been acquired by the private equity firm Roark Capital in a deal valued at $1 billion. Dave's Hot Chicken got its start in 2017 as a popup in a Los Angeles parking lot. It has grown exponentially since then and expects to end this year with 400 restaurants worldwide. The brand specializes in Nashville-style hot chicken. Investors in Dave's Hot Chicken have included the rapper Drake, who gives away hot chicken sliders every year on Oct. 24, his birthday. Atlanta-based Roark specializes in franchised businesses. It bought the Subway sandwich chain in 2023 and backs two holding companies that own multiple restaurant chains: Inspire Brands, the parent of Arby's, Dunkin', Jimmy John's, Sonic and Buffalo Wild Wings; and GoTo Foods, which owns Auntie Anne's, Carvel, Cinnabon and Jamba. Dave's Hot Chicken said its leadership team — including CEO Bill Phelps and the four childhood friends who founded the company — will remain and continue to lead menu innovation, food quality, operations and marketing. 'Our entire organization is excited about the fit between Dave's Hot Chicken and Roark, and we're looking forward to continuing to blow our guests' minds and unlocking growth and value for our franchise partners,' Phelps said in a statement.
